I have been using Brave for a couple of years now. Very happy. I went sour on Firefox when they kicked Brendan Eich out. If you ever needed proof Mozilla are bad guys, that was it. Then they added their Pocket think and started bugging you to log in. A privacy focused browser would not have any kind of login. What kind of feature is that for privacy?
I used Brave for quite awhile when I was still using windows. but I have completely switched to Linux and had a lot of issues with their Linux version. But the main problem I found with Brave is that sites are now using hooks that break the page when using Brave. And with Brave you have to allow bad scripts along with the needed scripts to use the page correctly. This is why I use NoScript. I can allow each individual script or not selectively. So I can turn on just the javascript or media player without needing to turn on the other 50 3rd party scripts. I have hit pages that had over a hundred hidden 3rd party scripts. And NoScript also has a tool that traces those scripts to the unique origin and gives you all the data of IP, who actually owns them, Etc. So for me NoScript is an absolute must have tool and I am limited to a browser that will work with NoScript and correctly with Linux too. :)
So I am now down to Chromium or Waterfox because they will allow use of the NoScript.
